Description

Are you trying to learn Algebra at your school or college but struggling to understand your textbook or the teacher?

Are you a parent who is having trouble helping your child with his or her schoolwork?

Do you need someone to explain Algebra to you in a simple way that is easy to understand?

Do you benefit from seeing problems worked and hearing explanations?

Are you needing some help but don't have all day to spend on Algebra?

If so, then you have come to the right place. This course offers bite-sized lessons that fit into your busy schedule. You can watch one per day or as many as you like. You can pick and choose the topics that are causing you the most difficulty. You can also access resources containing practice problems to make sure you understand the material.

I have been a college math teacher for 14 years, and other than Calculus, Algebra is my most favorite topic in math. (Yes, I said it: I love algebra!) Because I'm super-comfortable with the topic, I know how to explain it in ways that students understand. I've taught the content many, many times, so I can anticipate areas that tend to give students trouble and make sure that you don't trip over those same spots.

So, if you're needing some help in your Algebra class, wanting to learn Algebra on your own, or wanting to help others better understand Algebra, I would be honored if you would join me by clicking "Enroll Now."

See you inside!

Who is the target audience?

This course is designed for students who want (or need) to learn Algebra but who do not necessarily have a large amount of time to devote to studying the subject.

It would also be appropriate for those who wish to brush up on their Algebra skills.

Homeschool parents may choose to use this course to increase their own confidence with the subject or as an Algebra course for their child/student.

This course is not designed for students who are already fluent in higher-level math such as Calculus or beyond.

Since you're going to be hearing my voice quite a bit during this course - for better or for worse! - I thought it might help to put a face with the voice and introduce myself a bit. I hope you'll also feel free to introduce yourself in the discussion board area.

Hi everyone! (Or Hey Y'all for any fellow Southerners!) My name is Laura Baggett. I am a math professor and a homeschool mom. I have a BS in Math from Auburn University (War Eagle!) and an MS in Applied Math from Georgia Tech. Including two years as a graduate teaching assistant at Georgia Tech, I have almost 14 years of experience teaching math at the college level, including 4 years as a full-time instructor. I have taught courses ranging from College Arithmetic to Differential Equations. I've been teaching online for Kaplan University since April 2010 and here on Udemy since 2014.

I grew up in Hartselle, Alabama, a small town roughly halfway between Birmingham and Huntsville. I have been married to my husband, David, for 16 years, and we have two children: our son is 10, and our daughter is 8. My "main" job is being a stay-at-home, homeschool Mom, and I love that teaching online allows me to be at home with them. When I'm not cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, teaching my children or going to church, I ... well, that's pretty much all I do! But I also enjoy playing the piano, reading (especially Jane Austen), writing, and speaking. I'm also a huge SEC football fan, and I love 80's music. :)

I have traveled to 49 states (still lack Alaska!) and 11 different countries. We have moved 13 times over the past 18 years! Most recently, we moved from Arkansas to Northwest Georgia. My husband is a prosthetist/orthotist, which means he makes artificial limbs and braces, and most of the moves have been for his education and job. Thank goodness teaching online is "portable!"

Well, that's probably more than you ever wanted to know about me. :) I am really looking forward to getting to know each of you during the course.
